Osteoarthritis Prevention Study

Did you know that over 250 million persons are affected by Osteoarthritis? It is the leading cause of disability among adults and has no cure. Prevention of OA is preferable to treatment and females are affected at nearly twice the rate as males. If you are a female, at least 50 years of age, overweight, with no or occasional knee pain, you may be able to participate in a research study to find out if a diet and exercise program or a health education program prevent knee OA.

Nutrition for Precision Health - Tailored Nutrition Study

Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. Nutrition, or the foods we eat, can help prevent and fight conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, and more. However, we all live in different environments, we come from different cultures, and each of us is starting from a different place with our health. Additionally, everyone breaks down food differently. Join the Nutrition for Precision Health research study to help researchers learn how our genes, cultural backgrounds, and environments affect our bodies' responses to food. Compensation provided.

Adolescent Mood during Puberty and Testosterone (AMPT)

During puberty, adolescents grow and change a lot which may make life seem more stressful and emotional. Male and female adolescents experience the changes associated with puberty differently, possibly because of different responses to changes in hormones, including testosterone and estrogen. We are interested in learning more about the role of these hormones in regulating emotional processing and mood symptoms, and whether a mobile training program can help improve mood during the pubertal transition. Participation is 8 weeks with two monthly follow-up surveys. Compensation provided.
